2019 is our 15th anniversary! Join us at an event to celebrate!

PBSCA is an active organization that hosts and co-hosts many events throughout the year. In recent years, we have hosted wine tastings, our youth exchange to and from Bologna, Italian cyclists, our Amici dinner, and our annual Sagra fundraiser.
